Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
I like it! And blue is my favorite on an SV...01/01/2011, first ride of the year, mid 40F, 50 mile jaunt:
x3see the wear bars? Time to re-tire.
+1...I nerded out my bike. I put the Hippo Hands on it.
Last time I rode to work (25 miles) it was in the high 20's. My heated vest did it's job and the only part of me that was miserable was my fingers. I was wearing Cortech Scarab winter gloves, fine down to the 40's, but not much good below that. I've got grip warmers; you can fry your palms and still have frozen fingers.
As my hands warmed up after getting to work, the pain was severe, to say the least. I got a vivid reminder of why I bought the Hippo Hands last winter. When I use them, I can wear my summer gloves and my hands stay plenty warm.
Hippo Hands look nerdy, but I figure better nerdy and comfortable than fashionable and completely miserable.
I have HotGrips on mine and I've loved them, but I am wanting to put a Spiering's throttle tube on it, so I'm looking into replacing my heated grips. The Oxfords look nice for the price. Do they get hot all the way around? ARe the grips the same size as stock (HotGrips are bigger because of the heating coil they mold into it)? Where'd ya get em and how much? I saw them on TT for like $60 or so. Pics?tried out my new oxford heated grips
they get super hot
Buell'd it
